This is exactly what they're saying. A quantum propeller.
You push off of stuff that already exists in space to move forward, instead of having to throw stuff backwards to move forward.
The KEY is that space is not a true vacuum. It is a "working fluid" in the sense that you can push at it with magnetic fields. It can be interacted with.
Point is - This was clearly not a "You've been a bad boy Johnny" If the feds were involved, and especially if its something he think will seriously impact his career down the road.
Never underestimate the ability of a school administrator/local Barny Fife cops to blow something out of proportion.
I think it's telling that the Fed got involved but *didn't charge him with anything*. Prosecutors love to prosecute, so if there was even a whiff of a real case they would have at least sent him to a grand jury for indictment. The Feds probably showed up and said to the administrators/local cops "you called us in for *what*?" and then left.
He then gets offended when the Spaniard moves his hands in a gesture which is perfectly normal for this country, but unusual and much more confrontational in the US.
The fact of the matter is that there's precious little privacy in the world. When I'm working out in my front yard, I've got no privacy. When I'm shopping or driving or walking down the street, I've got no privacy. At work I've got no privacy. Why would anyone expect that posting something on the Internet, quite possibly the most public space in the world, would be private?
I think it's because of the scale. "The man" can't possibly have enough people/manpower to spy on everyone everywhere they go in meatspace. But on the web, huge dragnets of billions of points of data can be easily analyzed and correlated by a single computer program.
"Intrinsic" redshift? That goes against everything we know about physics. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, not a series of slightly weird coincidences.
To quote the great wiki in the sky:
Arp originally proposed his theories in the 1960s, however, telescopes and astronomical instrumentation have advanced greatly; the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, multiple 8-10 meter telescopes (such as those at Keck Observatory) have become operational, and detectors such as CCDs are now more widely employed. These new telescopes and new instrumentation have been utilized to examine QSOs further.
QSOs are now generally accepted to be very distant galaxies with high redshifts. Moreover, many imaging surveys, most notably the Hubble Deep Field, have found many high-redshift objects that are not QSOs but that appear to be normal galaxies like those found nearby.
Moreover, the spectra of the high-redshift galaxies, as seen from X-ray to radio wavelengths, match the spectra of nearby galaxies (particularly galaxies with high levels of star formation activity but also galaxies with normal or extinguished star formation activity) when corrected for redshift effects.
I'd also like to remind you that there are no studies proving that intelligence has any survival advantage whatsoever.
I beg to differ. The fact that we're at the top of the food chain by a looooooong shot is evidence enough. We're small, weak, fragile, poorly-armed (no raptor claws), etc. But we have big brains, can plan, work in groups, etc.
Recording where there are signs conspicuously placed warning you not to record erodes some "fair use" claims.
I disagree. A sign doesn't change your rights under the law. It's like saying "well, the sign here says no black people allowed, so that erodes some of black people's claim that it's OK to be present".
A right is a right, no matter what irrelevant signs are posted.
That's the complete opposite of what actual science research says.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is now thought to be caused by pooling of CO2 near the infants face while sleeping, and the fact that infants don't wake up in response to too much CO2/not enough O2 like older children/adults do (they die from lack of oxygen).
One of the recommended ways to avoid SIDS? Have a fan running in the baby's room when sleeping so that the pooled CO2 doesn't stay pooled.
Meh, I'm sure people taste pretty similar to other animals. A surgeon friend of mine said that human muscle is most like pork in consistency, so it makes sense they call cooked people "Long Pig" in certain areas where that's done (or was done).

Admit nothing, deny everything, make counter-accusations.

That's not body language. That's sign language.

Agreed. But remember this is energy *per particle*, and there a hell of a lot of particles flying around the ring.
It's called context. Not hard.
If it's a true shortcut to physical fitness/buffness, then why the hell not?
It's like saying that people who are immune to flu via vaccinations are "cheating" because they didn't tough out a bout with the flu to become immune.
Or that people who use Excel to do spreadsheets are "cheating" because they're not using graph paper or whatever.
Or that people who drive a car are "cheating" because they didn't walk.
Work SMARTER, not harder.
Well, remember how long it took to get the AQ gates open? Is this of similar difficulty?
As far as your cute line about war = terrorism, did you miss the memo regarding it being illegal to kill noncombatants in modern day wars?
I wish the US had heard about that:
http://www.iraqbodycount.org/
There is an entire field devoted to such a concept: Semantics. FYI.
I guess you need to learn how to read IDL code, and then use that knowledge to prove MrSquid wrong.
Until then, please STFU.
Exactly. When was the last time anyone wire-wrapped a keyboard?

Ah, I remember installing the dnetc (I believe it was the RC32 challenge) on all the Macs in my highschool computer lab back in 97 or so. Good times!
40 watts x 24 hours x 365 days x 10 years x 5000 machines x $.06 /kwh = $1,051,200
Now subtract next dollar amount off that figure as the machines would have been running anyway (24/7 as mandated by the district):
20 watts x 24 hours x 365 days x 10 years x 5000 machines x $.06 /kwh = $525,600
So total cost was: $525,600
Meh, I just don't care about show transferring. If I really want to archive a TV show "permanently", I USE the NET to grab an HD copy in mkv format.
But how often do you want to archive something that was just on live TV? Usually it's old stuff that I want to see, stuff that wasn't just on TV.
That's the complete opposite of what actual science research says.

Wow, that makes me sick to my stomach. Literally.
Yes, but they most certainly aren't incandescent, which is why the GP (GGP?) said.
Indeed. Most street lights are sodium vapor (sometimes mercury) vapor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_vapor_lamp

I'd give it a shot. Why the hell not?
Might it have something to do with the quality of the students, which has to do with the quality of their parents?
No, couldn't be......let's just drag unions into it.
